	THE NAGS HEAD - NEWS
		Peter Woodthorpe, who has died aged 72, was one of the most distinctive and arresting character actors to appear on the post-war London stage.
		Woodthorpe was fleshy-faced, bright-eyed, square-jawed and plump, with a rasping, reverberative and nasal voice and a capacity for stillness which commanded attention.
		Peter Woodthorpe was born at York on September 25 1931 and educated at Archbishop Holgate's School, York, and Magdalene, Cambridge, where he appeared in the Footlights Revue and for the Marlowe Society.

	Peter Woodthorpe \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Peter Woodthorpe, the defiantly eccentric character actor who played a significant role in the British postwar theatrical revolution, died Aug. 13.
		Woodthorpe's portrayal of Estragon as "compassionate lunacy," both the play and the actors' careers were well on their way.
		Woodthorpe created the role of Aston – a reticent man living alone in a cluttered top-floor room of an abandoned house in a poor London district who takes in an old derelict – in Harold Pinter's first smash hit, "The Caretaker," opposite Donald Pleasence and Alan Bates.

	Monkey Dubbing - Peter Woodthorpe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Peter had not been too well for a while and he had bravely fought on to complete the dubbing of the lost 13 episodes of Monkey, where he so famously was the voice of Pigsy.
		Peter had the last session ever on this project, which was less than a month ago.
		Peter has appeared predominantly in films, and his distinctive voice can also be found on the 1978 animated film of the Tolkien book "The Lord of the Rings", in which he did the voice of Gollum.

	Peter Woodthorpe \| Obituaries \| Guardian Unlimited
		In August 1955, Peter Woodthorpe, who has died aged 73, became part of the postwar stage revolution.
		Peter Hall had seen him as a Cambridge University undergraduate performing with the Marlowe Society, and eventually chose him to play Estragon, in the British premiere of Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot.
		Woodthorpe was to become instantly recognisable in classical and modern plays.

	THE SKULL
		This Peter Brook stage production created a storm of controversy when it opened in London and was bitterly attacked as a "sordid and dirty" play by many critics who included the famous impressario Emile Littler.
		In one scene, Peter Cushing was trapped in a small room with the walls closing in on him.
		Usually horror films are set in the era of gaslight, hansom cabs, and eerie mansions of the 18th and early 19th centuries, and the star of the film is arrayed in costume of the day.

		Donald Pleasence, as the tramp, gives a performance which made the audience catch its breath; and he is magnificently supported by Alan Bated and Peter Woodthorpe.
		In the writing of the character, and in its masterly, still playing by Peter Woodthorpe, there is a latent implacability so powerful and so quiet that to attempt to assail it is like driving oneís bare fist into a wall.
		Woodthorpe never raises his voice, but his variations in tone are of infinite subtlety.

		Paul Daneman and Peter Woodthorpe began to enjoy the cross talk; and Timothy Bateson grew quietly proud of his virtuosity as Lucky.
		Peter Bull as Pozzo, (who later made a career out of sending up the production) was more flustered and amusing.

		Peter currently resides in California with his wife, artist and writer Padma Hejmadi.
		And the film is what inspired Peter Jackson to read Tolkien, a happy coincidence that has so far directly benefited Saul to the tune of nearly $200 million.
		I felt the screenplay was extremely good, and I was very proud of having a chance to work with actors like John Hurt and Peter Woodthorpe and William Squires.

	Teleport City
		The story to this point: the good doctor of questionable moral standards, one Baron Victor von Frankenstein (Peter Cushing) escaped the guillotine he was facing at the end of the first film, Curse of Frankenstein, only to find himself beaten to death by angry amputees at the end of the second film, Revenge of Frankenstein.
		In both films, Frankenstein is the main character, and the films focus on exploring the complexity of his personality and the mentality that leads him to abandon the concept of morality in favor of relentless pursuit of scientific research.
		The focus shifts to Zoltan, played competently by Peter Woodthorpe, who later went on to star with Peter Cushing in The Skull before doing the voice of Gollum in the Ralph Bakshi animated version of The Lord of the Rings, which also featured Hammer stalwart Andre Morrell as Elrond.

	Alan Bates Theatre Archive:"The Caretaker"
		Peter Woodthorpe rises finely to his opportunities as the afflicted brother, and Alan Bates gives a hard clear edge to the sane one."
		It could be a thankless task for the author himself to fit in with the subtle interplay of two performances as finely interknit as those of Mr Donald Pleasence and Mr Peter Woodthorpe, but Mr Pinter's acting is wholly convincing.
		He lacks, it is true, the tense, mercurial worldliness brought in as some relief to the atmosphere of defeat by Mr Bates.

	The Evil of Frankenstein (1964)
		CAST: Peter Cushing, Sandor Eles, Peter Woodthorpe, Duncan Lamont, Katy Wild, David Hutcheson, Kiwi Kingston.
		SYNOPSIS: Isolated and misunderstood, Baron Frankenstein is forced to flee by an irate priest warning him not to dabble in blasphemy.
		Director Freddie Francis, first and foremost a cinematographer, could always be trusted to deliver something visually compelling on some level - if lacking the depth and sophistication of a John Gilling or Terence Fisher film.

		As you, or may not know, this was the only Frankenstein film starring Peter Cushing that was not directed by Horror maestro Terence Fisher.
		Instead the workman-like Freddie Francis steps in for old Terry(who was apprently sick at the time) And delievers a sort of quase-shawshbuckler-mad scientist movie.
		Peter Cushing, a brillant actor, is totally wasted this time around as the role of THe Baron, displaying none of the icy charm of the arrgoant aristocrat which occasinally pops up in the series.

		Peter Jackson DID hear this before he made the films.
		For those of you who thought that the recent films based upon this modern classic was utterly briliant and of course that it is a clear exercise in HOW to do things properly...
		A truly inspired piece of radio dramatisation, the cast is excellent (especially Peter Woodthorpe as Gollum), the music superb and with this edition now edited together to be one continuous piece instead of the 26 or 13 episodes originally broadcast.

	Beckett - Tom McGurk on the Beckett Film Project
		Forty years ago he was simultaneously defending his radio play All That Fall from a stage production by no less than Lawrence Olivier and his theatrical play Happy Days from BBC radio.
		Beckett, who happened to be in London at the time, watched the transmission with McWhinnie, actor Peter Woodthorpe and his fiction publisher John Calder.
		Woodthorpe switched off his television set whereupon Sam put his head into his hands and said, 'Thank you Donald, thank you for doing that for me. But, you know it's not right on television.

		Although it was ultimately overshadowed by Peter Jackson's live-action Lord of the Rings trilogy, Ralph Bakshi's animated adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy classic is not without charms of its own.
		A target of derision from intolerant fans, this ambitious production is nevertheless a respectably loyal attempt to animate the first half of Tolkien's trilogy, beginning with the hobbit Frodo's inheritance of "the One Ring" of power from Bilbo Baggins, and ending with the wizard Gandalf's triumph over the evil army of orcs.
		There is no singing in the return of the king, but there is more than peter jackson's movie which ends at the coronation with the fellowship parted.

	The Hammer Horror Collection DVD Reviewed on RevolutionHomeTheater.com
		The set is included in a reasonably attractive slipcase set with images of Peter Cushing and Oliver Reed (in werewolf form) on the cover.
		The precise, intense Peter Cushing is the star of three of the films; Oliver Reed is the star of two and appears in a third.
		A charming local parson (Peter Cushing) and the townspeople seem more amused than anything else, but gradually the officer begins putting together elements that lead him to suspect the dread pirate Captain Clegg, thought to be hanged, may be living in the village.

		It's only the solid professional acting ability of Peter Cushing as Baron Frankenstein that gives this pic any credibility (and he wasn't that great, either), before it ends in a pyrotechnical fireball.
		He is astonished to find that the Monster (Kiwi Kingston) he created when he lived before in Karlstaad, remains alive frozen in a glacier.
		When the baron, after thawing it out, can't seem to succeed in reviving it he gets an egotistical hypnotist, Professor Zoltan (Peter Woodthorpe), who has come to the town for the carnival, to stimulate its brain.

		Back in business once more is Baron Frankenstein (Peter Cushing), who finds his fabled monster (Kiwi Kingston) frozen in a block of ice.
